'''Louis Martinez''' (born 1966) was a teenager from New York City who, along with his friend [[Eddie Rivers]], became involved in smuggling drugs into Florida for [[Diego Moya]]. However, they were caught by {{C&T}} and forced to help bring down the dealer.
'''Louis Martinez''' is a teenager from New York who, along with [[Eddie Rivers]], dreamed of opening up a club in New York City with money earned from a "one-time score"--selling drugs one time and getting out with $25,000. Eddie & Louis traveled to Miami (but Louis went ahead and "got lucky at the track" to get he money), Eddie paid for a ticket to Bogota with cash, catching the attention of Vice cops [[James "Sonny" Crockett]] and [[Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs]], who tried to spook them from going through with their plan by giving them false information about what the ''policia'' in Colombia do to drug smugglers, then dumps a table on Tubbs and runs off after he asks for ID. Louis convinced the "green kid" Eddie to go through with the plan and fly to Bogota to get his drugs from dealer[[Diego Moya| Diego Moya]]'s cousin, who puts the drugs in a ''Santeria'' statue to get through Customs. After Eddie returned to Miami, he (and later Louis) are arrested by Crockett who threatens 15 years in jail (mandatory in Florida) for both if they don't cooperate with the police, promising a free walk for both if they help bring down Moya. The friends arrange for the deal, it turns out to be a rip-off, and just as Moya is prepared to kill Eddie the SRT team kills Moya, then Castillo tries to get the kids to the airport before Moya's brother [[Pepe Moya|Pepe]] finds out (which he already knew because he was at the scene), Crockett & Tubbs get Eddie & Louis to the airport, but before they can get on the plane Pepe Moya shows up and shoots Eddie down in front of Crockett, who begs Louis to get on the plane and go back to New York after what happened to his friend.

Biography

One-time score

Louis and his friend Eddie Rivers dreamed of opening up a club in New York with money earned from a "one-time score" -- smuggling drugs into Miami for dealer Diego Moya, selling him the package and making off with $25,000 profit. At Miami International Airport, the pair bought Eddie a return ticket to Bogota so that he could collect the drugs, but unknown to them the Vice squad were staking out the departures lounge on a tip that some smugglers would be passing through. When Louis and Eddie paid for the ticket in cash, the check-in clerk, Denise, alerted Crockett and Tubbs, who caught up with them in an airport diner and tried to scare them out of their plan by telling them horror stories about what the policia in Colombia do to drug smugglers. However, Louis dumped the table on the Vice cops and the two kids managed to flee.

Deal with OCB

Despite Eddie's reservations now that the police were involved, Louis convinced him to go through with the plan, and Eddie later caught a flight to Bogota to collect the drugs from dealer the Moyas' cousin. However, upon returning to Miami, Eddie was caught by Crockett and quickly gave up Louis, who was also arrested. With little alternative, the two friends agreed to take part in a sting operation to bring down the Moyas.

The deal with Diego Moya turned out to be a rip-off, and when the dealer pulled a gun he was shot dead by the watching Metro-Dade SRT team. Knowing Diego's brother Pepe Moya would seek revenge, Castillo had Crockett and Tubbs take Louis and Eddie to the airport so that they could fly straight home to New York. However, Pepe ambushed them there, shooting Eddie dead before himself being killed by Tubbs. In the aftermath, a devastated Crockett sent Louis back to New York alone.
